An abstract TyCon may hide a unary class
A class declared in an hs-boot file is an AbstractTyCon inside the
module loop, and compiling the real declaration may reveal it to be a
UnaryClassTyCon.
- isTerminatingType returned True for such AbstractTyCons
- IfaceToCore set the unary flag to False in the DFunId
So we could end up speculating bottom dictionaries because inside a module
loop we see an UnaryClassTyCon as an AbstractTyCon
Use isTerminatingTyCon, which returns False for an abstract TyCon.
The Bool in DFunId is now a cache for isTerminatingTyCon, set in
mkDFunIdDetails.

Specialise: don't replace dead args with absent fillers
specHeader decides an argument is dead by calling isDeadBinder on a binder of
the /optimised RHS/, then applies the filler to the /stable unfolding/
template instead. The two may differ, so the argument can be dead in
the RHS and not in the template.
The specialised function's unfolding then has an absent filler, and any call
site that inlines it evaluates the error thunk.
Dropping dead args in the specialiser is rarely worth it, to quote Simon,
"The later worker/wrapper pass will pick up the dead arg later if it is really dead. Keeps the specialiser simpler."
So instead of trying to check if the arg really is dead in the stable unfolding,
just drop the logic for dropping dead args in the specialiser altogeher.

CorePrep: don't speculate a call across an hs-boot edge
We take care not to evaluate things that might be bottom, like a
looping dictionary group, but our analysis is defeated by boot files.
We only track recursion within a module, so two dictionaries that
depend on each other across a module loop each look non-recursive, and
we might speculate them.
Any recursion we cannot see must cross an hs-boot edge, so refuse to
speculate calls that cross one.
Fixes #27717
